A Chinese team said its new algorithm could dramatically reduce the scale of a practical quantum computer to 372 qubits – even less than the most powerful quantum computer in the world, Osprey. Image: Shutterstock Images
Chinese scientists’ claims for new quantum code-breaking algorithm raise eyebrows in the US
- Today’s mainstream encryption may be vulnerable within years instead of decades after Chinese researchers propose new code-breaking algorithm
- ‘There’s the nagging question of why the Chinese government didn’t classify this research,’ US cryptographer writes
